Episode 35: A Sub-Reddit of Porgs

A Subreddit of Porgs

A SWTOR Podcast for Unholy Alliance and Wookiee Mistake guilds on the Harbinger server. Our podcast is a proud member of MOG Nation!

This week we introduce a new segment called Star Lores by our friend Wil Wright, known in our community as Grognard. Wil discusses the lore and background behind Umbara, the new planet coming to SWTOR in release 5.4! Also featured in this episode is the next installment of Larry Everett’s In Character -this one is about God Moding- and an interview with the queen of Twitch moderation herself, Ladydaney! Finally, we try to get our heads around the porg-mania that has gripped Star Wars!

Star Lores

Introducing the very first issue of Star Lores! Join @MandoLegion, loremaster and keeper of holocrons for the Jedi Temple as he divulges what we know about the dark and mysterious planet Umbara.

Be sure to see Vulkk’s coverage of the Crisis on Umbara for further information here.

In Character

God-moding, the third of the evil trifecta of RP no-no’s (the other two are meta-gaming and power-gaming) involves making your character too powerful to fit comfortably into an RP context. Join Larry Everett as he provides examples and explains why god-moding is a problem.
